Imran Niazi Did Great Cruelty By Speaking Lies Day And Night: Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif

Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that Imran Niazi has done a great cruelty by consistently telling lies and wasting precious time of the nation.

LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 01st Mar, 2018 ) :Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that Imran Niazi has done a great cruelty by consistently telling lies and wasting precious time of the nation.

Addressing a press conference here at Model Town on Thursday, he said it was an enmity with the nation that youth was turned towards lies and mendacity. Imran speaks lies without any fear, levels allegations and indulges in falsehood but feels no shame over it, he added.

Shehbaz said if Imran continued to speak lies, being a former cricket player, then the people would also talk about allegations of ball tempering which was a matter of concern and against the national dignity.

Everything could be sacrificed over national honour but an effort was being made to ruin it by spate of lies. Imran Niazi has levelled a new allegation against me by creating a mythological character like Faisal Subhan, he added.

"A tv channel has also played its part in this regard. I took immediate notice of it and made it clear that 'put up and shut up.' I again repeat this thing to Imran Niazi that 'put up and shut up.' It means that either you show proof or hold your tongue.

I filed a suit against this TV channel in the UK and hired the services of a law company there. Filing a case in the UK does not mean that I do not trust my courts but the system of deciding defamation cases is time-consuming here, that is why I have taken legal action in the UK," he said.

The chief minister said that Imran Niazi levels an allegation and then does not give its reply, nor repeat it, but levels another allegation. He first alleged that 70 billion rupees were spent on Lahore Metro Bus Project.

"We contradicted it and challenged it. We said that thirty billion rupees were spent on metro, bus project and that thing could be checked from any forum but Imran Niazi continued to harp on about seventy billion rupees.

I contacted Transparency International (TI) and held a meeting with its board members. Former justice Nasira Iqbal was included in the board members whose son is in the PTI today. Imran Khan was invited there but he did not turn up.

Then TI checked all the record and gave a decision that 30 billion rupees were spent on it." He said: "Niazi Sahib leveled second allegation with regard to Javed Sadiq along with his colleagues in a press conference and claimed that Javed Sadiq is my front man and leveled an allegation of 27 billion rupees corruption against me".

He added: "I sent a notice to him and the reply is still awaited. Javed Sadiq has military background and I had good relations with him and this is no crime indeed. Rs 27 billion is a huge amount and if there is a corruption of 27 pennies then it would be a crime.

Khan Sahib did not reply to my notice, as well. He said, "Khan Sahib alleged that I gave an offer of ten billion rupees bribe to him in Panama Case. I again sent him a notice and filed a defamation suit but there is no reply to it.

During the proceedings of these cases, neither Khan Sahib turned up nor his lawyer Babar Awan appeared before the court. Babar Awan is such a character of loot and corruption who has been made responsible for corruption in Nandi Pur Project by Judge Rehmat Hussain Jafri.
